AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Businesses focusing on the power and electricity trading market have experienced major gains and major losses in positions as a result of shifts in the supply of power due to unforeseen market volatility.
States have come close to suffering major power outages in recent months, with a few states implementing mandatory revolving power outages in response to the market's short supply due to scheduled or unscheduled or emergency maintenance, unforeseen weather conditions, or other causes of interruptions in supply.
None of these sources offer real-time data to traders of power and electricity, nor do they offer any tools enabling traders to quickly process and access such information.

Embodiment Construction

[0019] FIG. 1 illustrates one embodiment of a system 10 for collecting, processing, and presenting data associated with the flow of transport 25 along a network 20. The data collected, processed, and presented by the system 10 allows users or automated engines to make decisions regarding the utilization, allocation, and transaction of the transport 25. In the illustrated embodiment, the system 10 may be utilized to collect, process, and present data associated with current flow across power transmission lines between nodes of a power transmission network. In such an embodiment, such data may be used, for example, to allow participants in a electric commodity market to trade electricity by assisting the decision process to buy, sell or supply power.

[0020] In yet another embodiment, the system 10 may be used to collect, process and present data associated with bandwidth utilization in a data transmission network. In such an embodiment, such data may be used, for example, to allow comp...

Abstract

A system for evaluating real-time power flow information includes a collection device operable to collect measurement data associated with at least one point in a power transmission network and a server in communication with the collection device and operable to process the measurement data to determine a current at the at least one point. The system also includes a client in communication with the server and operable to display the current as being associated with the at least one point and a cost associated with the current and the at least one point.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONSMICROFICHE APPENDIX[0001] 1. Technical Field Of The Invention[0002] This invention relates in general to the field of power engineering, and more particularly to a system and method for gathering of real-time current flow information.[0003] 2. Background Of The Invention[0004] The past several years have introduced many changes in the traditionally heavily regulated power industry. For example, the deregulation of the sales and services components of the power industry has opened up the power distribution industry to additional players and the accompanying increase in market competition. Additionally, there is a rapid growth in the volume of the trading of power and electricity. Such higher volume has resulted in the trading of power and electricity becoming a major component of the power industry business.[0005] Businesses focusing on the power and electricity trading market have experienced major gains and major losses in positions as a resu...
